NAME

       vimos_ima_twilight_flat - Twilight flat combination for imaging

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vimos_ima_twilight_flat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       vimos_ima_twilight_flat -- VIMOS twilight flat combine recipe.

       Combine  a  list  of twilight flat frames into a mean frame. Optionally compare the output
       frame to a reference twilight flat frame

       The program accepts the following files in the SOF:

           Tag                   Description

           FLAT_TWILIGHT         A list of raw twilight flat images
           MASTER_BIAS           A master bias frame
           MASTER_DARK           A master dark frame
           REFERENCE_TWILIGHT_FLAT  Optional  reference  twilight  flat  frame  If  no  reference
       twilight flat is made available, then no comparison will be done. This means there will be
       no output ratio image and no stats

OPTIONS

       --lthr <float>
              Low rejection threshold for underexpsed images (float; default: 4000.0).  The  full
              name    of    this    option    for    the    EsoRex    configuration    file    is
              vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.lthr [default = 4000.0].

       --hthr <float>
              High rejection threshold for overexposed images (float; default: 60000.0). The full
              name    of    this    option    for    the    EsoRex    configuration    file    is
              vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.hthr [default = 60000.0].

       --combtype <str>
              Combination algorithm (str; default: ´median´). The full name of  this  option  for
              the  EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.combtype [default =
              median].

       --scaletype <str>
              Scaling algorithm (str; default: ´multiplicative´). The full name  of  this  option
              for   the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is  vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.scaletype
              [default = multiplicative].

       --xrej <bool>
              True if using extra rejection cycle (bool; default: True). The full  name  of  this
              option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file is vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.xrej
              [default = True].

       --thresh <float>
              Rejection threshold in sigma above background (float; default: 5.0). The full  name
              of     this     option     for     the     EsoRex     configuration     file     is
              vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.thresh [default = 5.0].

       --ncells <int>
              Number of cells for diff image stats (int; default:  8).  The  full  name  of  this
              option  for  the  EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.ncells
              [default = 8].

       --prettynames <bool>
              Use pretty output file names? (bool; default: False). The full name of this  option
              for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is vimos.vimos_ima_twilight_flat.prettynames
              [default = False].

       Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing  these  options,  along
       with  suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help'
       command.
